NO. ----- YES Can you mail, in general send a rifle via the shipper, as in you want to sell it or give it to a relative. The answer is yes you can, however it MUST be shipped to a FFL regardless if it's within your own state or not. The FFL (Federal Firearms License) holder verifies that the person who will receive it in the state can own in legally. The receiving FFL MAY have conditions on how it's sent etc. It is also EXTREMELY advisable to send a copy of the FFL with the rifle and you can verify a FFL's license on the ATF website.
If you are looking to buy guns online, most places are safe since all transactions are legal and regulated. If the gun is going to be shipped, first will be shipped to the Federal Firearms License holder or FFL. The Federal Firearm License holder receiver will do the required background checks before the gun can be released to you. The FFL will charge you a small fee for this service.
It depends on what you mean. If you mean a federal carry permit, in the U.S. there is no such thing. If you mean a FFL, that is a business license (basically) and has nothing to do with carrying a gun, only selling them.
The letters FFL stand for a Federal Firearms License. This is a license that enables an individual or a company to legally manufacture firearms or ammunition.
Depends on WHICH FFL you want. The BATFE requires that you comply with LOCAL laws before they will issue the license, That includes things like zoning, business license, etc if you are looking at a business FFL. You will need approval from local Chief Law Enforcement Officer for a business FFL. A Collector's FFL (03 C&R FFL) requires only that you send a copy of your application to the Chief local LEO.
Federal Firearms License
You need a type 1 Federal Firearms License to deal in firearms. There are multiple types, but type 1 what is required to firearms for a living. =================================================== You still need a Type 2 FFL to operate as a pawnbroker. A Type 1 covers gunsmiths and dedicated gun stores - Type 2 is exclusive to pawnbrokers. As a Type 1 FFL holder, I can say this with absolute certainty.
Depends on which license, in which area. There is a Concealed Carry License, sometimes called a CHL or CCW or CWP. There is an OWNER'S license required in a few states, such as the Illinois Firearm Owners ID card (FOID) A dealer or collector may hold a Federal Firearms License (FFL) to engage in those practices.
Go to the atf website under the doj. You can get applications online.
In the past I have as a Type 1 FFL holder. But my FFL was for my gun smithing business rather than the sales business, so I'm not so much into selling guns.
It is Federal firearms License. Issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, There are several different licenses for people that sell, collect, import, or make firearms and ammunition. The most common FFL classes are 01 (Dealer) 02 (Pawnshop that handles guns) and 03 (Collector). When ownership of a firearm is transferred across a state line (except for inheritance) US law requires that the firearm pass through the hands of a FFL holder.
You either need to have a current federal firearms license or have the gun you ordered shipped to a FFL dealer. Most FFL dealers charge a moderate fee for this service.
